Who is Mehli K Mistry?

Before this, in July 2026, Mistry stepped down as a director of RNT Associates Private Limited – an investment firm founded by Ratan Tata to manage his personal investments.

Notably, his exit from RNT Associates came after he stepped down as a trustee of the Ratan Tata Endowment Trust and the Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation.

Previously, Mistry exited from the main Tata Trusts in October 2025. According to ANI, his reappointment to the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and the Sir Ratan Tata Trust was not approved. Before this, Mistry had submitted a pre-emptive caveat with the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner to request a hearing prior to any changes being made to the trustee records, it added.

Meanwhile, he continued to remain associated with the Tata Education and Development Trust.

His decision regarding the Tata Medical Centre Trust marks the conclusion of his trusteeship once his term ends.
